NYC The Movie Star

This blog has chronicled how NYC and the movies go together like salt and pepper, oil and vinegar, pancakes and syrup -- you get the idea. The most amazing of all cities, the most visually arresting and culturally dynamic and humanly diverse of all places, has easily and magically fit with the most advanced and dynamic of all art forms from the very beginning. 

NYC and the movies are a match made in heaven, a perennial happy marriage.

In whatever movie is set in NYC, the city serves as both backdrop and star. It supports and defines the plot, the characters, the entire raison d'etre for whatever movies it's in. 

This massive article explores the always romantic role NYC plays in the movies -- a role that is sometimes dark, sometimes lighthearted, sometimes mysterious -- along with amazing behind the scenes pictures of movies being shot here over the decades. 

And with cinematic production in NYC booming, expect this love affair to continue forever and for this big movie star never to dim.
